Professors
The MPA faculty includes specialists in political science, sociology, law, and economics, as well as recognized decision-makers and policy analysts from the public arena. To guarantee a variety of critical and cultural perspectives as well as of pedagogical approaches, academics and professionals from around Europe and the world are invited to join a core group of Sciences Po faculty. Their diversity complements that of the student body, and adds to the richness and depth of the program.
